      It's perfectly fine for still shots, but the thing is, video games are meant to look like they were filmed with highest quality video cameras with none of the chromatic aberration or that sort of crap.

    I like it when it's used to give a sureal effect, like a "something is wrong" feeling like in dreams or hallucinations or others

      Some stuff in video games I never even knew I hated until I built a PC and realized system management for shit like that and the fact PC gamers can turn it off. Chromatic aberration, film grain, motion blur, and lens flare unless it’s a game with an atmosphere I think does well with it like metro exodus because of the gas mask. Plus it’s pretty sometimes. Plus I like a super shallow FOV. Enough to not feel like quake or like I’m on a curved TVs that’s 50 feet long. High FOV feels like you’re on lsd and trying to put your keys in your door.

    These effects are sort of ok, but they all try to recreate camera artefacts.
    If I'm playing on FPS, I'm not a robot with camera eyes that sees chromatic aberration or lense flares. I'm a person, my vision works differently.

    • @miichaa1266
      @miichaa1266 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm guessing this is like Art. When photography was introduced, there was no real need for realistic painting anymore for memory reasons. So artists became more expressive and stylistic. There was even a photography movement that made fun of serious photography (i can't remember the movement, im sorry ;_;) but one of the famous examples was a picture of a toilet. I think once you've gone to the best of the best, its not as special anymore so photographers and game developers just try to find a style or such to become known for? I dunno, this is just my two cents as I'm just guessing 😅🙏💦

When they started talking about the CA implementation, I asked myself "when and why did CA become a thing in games?" Your video does a great job of speaking to this. I really appreciate your recap of ALL the things game devs have done to recreate optical artifacts (including the abuse of bloom once upon a time). Great, concise video. Thank you.

  • @Eccex
    @Eccex 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    the problem that people have with CA is that a lot of games just do chromatic aberration as a circular effect distorting/bluring the edges of the screen or even worse apply it to every surface. that's just a stupid and unnecessary effect.
    when done right chromatic abberation takes depth information into account and distorts only based on that (think a slight color distortion of the light shimmering though the leafs on a tree or the color distorion sunlight would cause on the edges of far away things such as buildings). another good way to use CA in games is when it's simply tied to a light source (think the color halo around really bright white light for example) or the resulting bouncing of that light source on different surfaces (think light reflecting on water, glass or really bright surfaces and the slight color distortion that produces on the fringes of the reflected light). modern games definetly use these things and they can look realistic and good when done right. but again, simply slaping on a circular filter that blurs and distorts the egdes of your screen is as much needed and therefore disliked as motion blur

    • @PixelProphecy
      @PixelProphecy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching! Yeah, most of the times it feels like CA got slapped on there with the rest (film grain, lens-distortion, vignetting, etc.) without much rhyme or reason.

    This was important to know about when we still used photography to create maps. The camera lens at Cartography School was 150mm, and was considered small. So the usable part of the image was only in the middle part of the lens, to remove chromatic abberation (and spherical abberation).
    Now the printing is all done electronically.

    • @NeovanGoth
      @NeovanGoth 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The chromatic aberration in Plague Tale was exceptionally bad. Good CA can be used to hide the lack of detail of objects very near the camera (which in 3rd person games usually happens at the screen edges), but in Plague Tale it was just too much bd didn't resemble any somewhat acceptable real lens, so even people who generally like the effect (like me) had to turn it off. It was literally nauseating.
      Same issue with motion blur: Good motion blur is almost invisible and actually helps to hide an issue inherent to rendered graphics (movement on the screen not being continuous), but bad motion blur (particularly camera motion blur not adapted to the frame rate / virtual exposure time) is extremely distracting.

    It really shouldn't be in a game at all for the simple reason some people are sensitive to it. It can cause them pain, tired eyes and many other issues. I have never really noticed it. My son however started saying about certain games that that game makes his eyes tired and he just stopped playing them after a while. I turned off chromatic abberation and he has no "tired eyes" anymore when playing it. I have begun to think that it is affecting me as well because after turning off CA in many games I noticed a real difference in how I was feeling after a long session of gaming. So maybe I was being affected and never knew it or maybe it's my imagination but I'm turning it off from now on in every game I play.

    Excellent video on chromatic aberration! I don't play video games, but I can see why they would want to add some to make it more realistic. I do a lot of photography and hate it when I get it in my photographs.

    NFS Most Wanted and Undercover weren't going for photorealism
    they were going for near-photorealism, but with movie-like processing
    specifically, they were trying to do a toned down bleach bypass effect, the whole art direction for the NFS games of the time was directly influenced by film techniques

  • @nea89o
    @nea89o 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So i just played Mirror's Edge Catalyst before this video and I'm not entirely sure if that damage animation still counts as chromatic aberration or just violently splitting the color channels im ways the geneva convention would deem unethical.

  • @ponytailjones
    @ponytailjones ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I like when it is applied subtly to areas involving direct sunlight, I find it makes it feel more like real light is bouncing around. Chromatic aberration DOES appear in our day to day life, it is just very subtle unless you go looking for it. Look closely at objects in direct sunlight on a very hot sunny day, and you will notice many things that at a glance appear to be a single color, are in fact, prismatic.

    • @UnstoppableForces
      @UnstoppableForces ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you wear glasses, it’s very easy to find, if you turn your head while looking at an object, so that object is just barely in your glasses, you’ll see the chromatic aberration very easily.

    i am guilty of using this too much, when i was developing my first game i found the post processing stack in unity and i was like "what does this do? *click* amazing. leave it on" and the game was scene-wise super simple, a flat ground, a player cube and cube obstacles, but it had chromatic aberration, motion blur, vignette, lens dirt, bloom, ambient occlusion, everything, lmao.

    Good explanation. For me, chromatic aberration has always communicated mysterious, retro, or 70's vibes. I think it can definitely add to games going for any of those themes
